Hip, Trinkle Chick, January 26, 2008.

Bonjour, welcome to the 118 edition of the Hip Trinkle Chick podcast, a girl's guide to life on and off the yoga mat.

Today's menu features a must-have pose and on the mat, being a beacon in off-the-mats,

Off the mat.

Today's podcast is an interview with Heather Veter on being a beacon, which is all about leadership.

And I thought this was apropos, considering I'm about to dash off to Boulder to do a week-long

sojourn, actually, on authentic leadership at that lovely Buddhist university.

And so I'm really, really excited about this.

So I thought this was a very appropriate time to share Heather's thoughts on leadership.

So Heather is a small-town girl with big city dreams.

And as you see in the photo, she's an absolute doll.

And currently she's working on completing her lifelong goal of becoming a doctor,
